How to Purify Water With Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is derived from the seed, pulp and white membranes of the grapefruit (Citrus paradisi). It is available in liquid or capsule form and was discovered by Dr. Jacob Harich, a physicist, as a safe and effective antibiotic, antiseptic and disinfectant. GSE offers multipurpose health and general benefits to humans and animals. According to the Pure Liquid Gold website, GSE has proven to be extremely effective as an emergency water purifier. You can use grapefruit seed extract to purify water instantly if you are camping out or traveling in areas where the quality of drinking water is questionable.
